Definitions

  • Reference numerals 14 denote small cylindrical projections in the form of pins located on the outer (upper) side of the cover 1 , which are used to prevent an accidental mutual slippage of the stacked containers; in fact, the tiny pins 14 of an underlying container “naturally engage” the cavities formed externally by the ribs 5 of an overlying container (on the lower or external side of the dish 2 of the latter).
  • the container according to the present invention may form two separate parts 1 and 2 , or a single piece of plastic material connected by a tongue-like hinge. In any case all features of the cover 1 and dish 2 may be obtained by a single moulding process, blowing process, etc. of thermoplastic material. This material may have variable percentages of crystal and anti-impact additives.
